September's all-out war has already begun. Lotte Giants will start a four-day rest rotation.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 27th, said, `I pulled Lee Min-seok back once. Park Se-woong will play the rotation on the 4th."

In terms of rotation, Lotte's starting pitcher on the day is Lee Min-seok. On the previous day, however, Lotte announced Park Se-woong as its starting pitcher. Gamboa is also scheduled to start on the 28th, a day earlier. Lee Min-seok is likely to play against the Doosan Bears in Busan on the 29th.




Park Se-woong had to take the mound after a four-day break against Suwon KT Wiz on September 3 even if he had gone back to his normal rotation. However, if Park Se-woong and Gamboa are pulled at once, Park Se-woong will be able to take the mound after a five-day break against the LG Twins in Jamsil on September 2 and against Suwon KT Wiz on September 3.

After that, except for Na Kyun-an on the 31st, four starting pitchers can be given enough rest in September due to the remaining game schedule.

However, manager Kim Tae-hyung said "It does not mean that Lee Min-seok will only play as a bullpen for the rest of the regular season." If there is a period of rest for too long, it means waiting in the bullpen once in a while," he explained. "There will be a time when Lee Min-seok comes out and the existing starters take a break."




Due to the nature of professional baseball, pitchers who take the mound on Tuesday will play a four-day rotation that Sunday. However, unlike the U.S., there are not many cases where the rotation is kept on the 4th due to rain or rest.

There have been two cases where Park Se-woong and Gamboa took the mound after a four-day break this season. All four were four days off following two appearances a week, but unfortunately, the pitch was not all bad.

Park Se-woong pitched 6 ⅓ scoreless innings against KT Wiz on May 11, and pitched hard against Kiwoom Heroes on August 3 with 3 runs in 7 innings. Gamboa also scored two runs in six ⅔ innings against the Doosan Bears on June 8 and three runs in six innings against the Samsung Lions on August 17.




Lotte, which ended its long 12-game losing streak and kept its winning rate of 50%, will enter an all-out war against fall baseball. The first step is a four-day break for the starting pitchers. Lotte will try to advance to the fall baseball league for the first time in eight years, advance to the playoffs for the first time in 13 years, and advance to the Korean Series for the first time in 26 years under the leadership of manager Kim Tae-hyung this year.
